He has promised to “work all things together for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Even at times when we doubt Him, He is still working for our good and His glory. He is able (and best of all, willing!) to take everything that threatens to overwhelm us and use it for our benefit. Taken one at a time, we see first that God declares both His ability and His willingness to be our strength and support-mentally, emotionally and spiritually. “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you he will never let the righteous fall” (Psalm 55:22), and “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).Ĭontained within these two verses are several amazing truths: God will sustain us, He will never let us fall, and He cares for us. Thankfully, He has given us the same solution He gave in both Psalms and Peter’s letter. The fact that both the Old and New Testaments address this problem the same way indicates that God knows problems and worries are inevitable in this life. We often become discouraged and bogged down in life’s cares. It is sometimes a disconcerting truth for many Christians that even though we belong to God through faith in Christ, we still seem to experience the same problems that plagued us before we were saved.
